1st - Allan Morley with:
You are Loved
I want you to know that there is someone who loves you very much. That's important to know in the "dog eat dog world" in which we live. We spend our lives trying to earn love and respect and somehow we never seem to "measure up". It's wonderful to be loved without reservation, without having to earn it. We are loved, not because we are good, not because we have lived up to expectations, and not because we've tried to live a good life, but we are loved just like we are... faults and all. God has put a high value on our lives in that He gave His son to die on a cross to pay the penalty for all our sins. He has a very high purpose for yor life!
After 42 years of struggling with the meaning of life and what the purpose of my life should be, I met a man named Jesus and He changed my life. It has been wonderful to be loved unconditionally and to finally realize the meaning of life itself. I'm writing you to share this love and to let you know that you are a very special person in the sight of God. He only wants good for you and wants to help you in all of your trials.
=
You are Hated, Unlovely Spammer
I want you to know that there is someone who hates you very much. Very, very much. In fact, I'd judge that a whole lot of people would find these unsolicited words less of an invitation to salvation, and more of a potential reason to organize harsh, ungodly deeds that involve gleefully flogging your obese anal end and misshapen thighs with a huge wooden club.
Don't get me wrong, it's not your views I have a problem with - I've been a faithful and devout follower of Jesus my whole life. However, to invade and pollute inboxes with ANY unsolicited view, good or bad, is altogether inconsiderate, wearisome, often repulsive and villainous. Even televangelists wouldn't stoop so low.
Anyway, it defeats the purpose altogether. In essence, your futile digital entreaties are far more likely to turn secular people further away from God than vice versa, which as a believer I take offense at. Now frankly, I hope you have the opportunity to go and see God sooner rather than later - though I somewhat doubt He'd want you now.
2nd - Adrian Hickford with:
Considered by many as the best film ever made, this is the story of Charles Foster Kane. The film opens with a long shot of Xanadu - the private estate of one of the world's richest men. In the middle of the estate is a castle. We see, inside the castle, a dying man examining a winter scene within a crystal ball. As he drops it, it smashes, and one word is heard - "Rosebud"... What follows are pieces of newsreel like footage detailing how Kane amassed his fortune, and turning around full circle at the end.
=
Orson Welles' exalted masterpiece of the life of a fearless, distinguished news magnate (based on William Randolph Hearst) was elected the greatest of any, by all the American Film Institute. It harnesses extraordinary direction and novel cinematography.
Here's what the critics said: "Flawless!", "Glorious!", "Wondrous Kick-Off!", "Effervescent!", "An Astounding Phenomenon!", "The Shawshank Who?"
(His deathbed dream: "Rosebud" was the name etched on a toy; it identifies a sled lost in the sleet of time!)
3rd - Joe Fathallah with:
What is AREA51.NET all about?
Our goal is to bring you the best collection of links and information on Government conspiracies, advanced technologies, and UFO's that has ever been compiled on the Internet!
It is not our intention to draw conclusions on these subjects for you, but to allow you to quickly and easily access information. It is in the discussion and research of these topics that the truth can eventually be sifted out. There is a great deal of content on these subjects scattered throughout the Internet. It is our intention to unite this content right here at AREA51.NET.
Television shows such as Star Trek The Next Generation, and The X Files have created a great deal of public interest in the unknown. In addition, they have impacted not only the world of science fiction, but the world of science fact as well. There are many unanswered questions when it comes to what the Government does behind closed doors. There are equally as many questions about secret advanced technology, both terrestrial and extra terrestrial. It is the unknown that both frightens and intrigues us. It is a puzzle that has taken years to develop, and may take many more years to complete. Come and join us on this journey into the unknown.

Once, in Area 51....
[Seven loud gunshots]
Kid: Eh, what's that?
Soldier: [Talks on mobile] Seems it was that rotten Joe Fathallah and friends. They've been on the FBI Most Wanted List for ages! [Talks on mobile] Oh never? Shit! Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt! Shit! CUNT! The corpses did not quite land across the line! You can pull them over then, boy.
Kid: Yes Sir! [Runs]
Soldier: So, to Mr Bin Laden then. Nice to meet you. Here's your cool luxury house, with sauna facilities. Note that the one condition is, we can just look for you in any country in the Middle East forever. Agreed to, then?
Bin Laden: Agreed to! Neat!
[Texan accent, out of a tent]: Tony cutey, that bum's nice! Give it to me, honey! Bash on it, pet! And eat at the teats, pet! Oooh! Nice infective spurt!
Bin Laden: Eh, what's that noise then?
Soldier: Er.... that I cannot, er.... just don't worry about that. Come here and see this neat exhibit.
Bin Laden: I cannot, there's nothing in it!
Soldier: Quite so, it's the President's cranium. Now, here's Zorg, of the planet Qari.
Zorg: [Not understandable, characterless noises]
Soldier: We attacked Qari ten, no, twelve years ago, since it contains 51 great vast stocks of Lio, a precious natural resource that we lack. Now the Intergalactic Community hates us forever. Now, I need to join George and Tony! [Runs off fast]

Adrian Hickford with:
Sorry about about relative absence from the Forum over the last month. It has been a busy time running ywo contests.
Now that the Grand Anagrammies are over, and before we finish off this month, I would like a show of hands for the following proposed category changes.
1. The absorption of "Spam" into Long or Special (for the longer ones), or General or Rude or whatever (for the short ones).
Justification:
Given the low numbers in this category over the last 12-18 months.
My thoughts:
I have to reluctantly agree that it is time for Spam to go. I doubt there will be too many objections, as this opens the way for the creation of a new category.
2. Medium length category, say 40 - 100 letters, be created.
Justification:
There has always been a dead space between those anagrams that were just a bit too long to make the 40 letter cut for the short categories, but that had no chance against 100-999 letter competitors.
My thoughts:
I strongly support this idea.
3. Sentence or Tilde (~) Category be created.
Justification:
Some members have expressed an interest in this, but there are reservations about the frequency of these to justify a new category.
My thoughts:
A compromise might be using this for an Awardsmaster's Challenge, along the lines of: I give a half sentence, then everyone else completes it anagrammatically (of course).
4. Ultra-short Category, limit of 10, maybe 12 letters.
Justification:
Limited interest, despite the fact the good very short anagrams are highly prized. In there lies the problem. It is likely too few would be found or the standard would be rather low to make up the numbers.
My thoughts:
Good very short anagrans always tend to do well in the General Category. I am not in favour of a short category.
--------
I would everyone to give a yes or no on the above, with discussion if necessary. I would prefer if we could limit discussion to the above 4 proposals. While I would like this to be discussed here in the Forum, you may email me if you want to offer a private opinion.
If there is some reasonable level of consensus, then we reallocate anagrams to their relevant neew category for this month's competition. This will give us a full 12 months of consistent categories for next year's Grand Anagrammies.
Larry
=
Hello Larry (and the rest of the gang!)
My twopence worth:
The reorganisation of the structure of the Anagrammies seems to have been thought about for some time. January, Two-thousand and Three is here, so we can successfully alter the framework or architecture of the Awards without harming them too much.
What follows is waffle, a goofy synopsis, a selection of my subconscious cranial observances, solitary thoughts together with egregious theories, elaborate tomfoolery, monotonous buffoonery.
But first, here's the short version of my message:
Yes. Yes. No. No.
--------
Option One - To Spamagram or not to Spamagram, that is the question...
The category's out of date. Obsolete. Okay, almost obsolete, anyway. Please get rid of it (or re-categorise) - for I've never even come close to receiving this prize (thanks to Larry, Mey, Richard G., etc.)
But please try to remember the extraordinarily forgettable first winner by Dave Linabury:
Are the streets paved with gold??? =
Travel the widespread ghettos.
Option Two - New intermediate-length 'grams:
I have no objections. David A. Green will be joyfully gleesome, outstandingly jubilant if this new category is ever established. "Whoopee!" Here's a recent one of his that might have effortlessly won this award:
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage musical 'The Phantom of the Opera' =
He sang banal tripe, but it's the composer who was really deformed!
Option Three - Tom's valid, strange idea ~ to devise tild'anagrams
As others have mentioned, ~ have no "Tom"s here instead.
Let's choose straightaway not to adopt the unwholesome concept whatsoever, I beseech thee. Okay?
I countenance the notion that more Awardsmaster's Challenges ought to be circulated, but - caution! - this therefore ought not to result in a significant increase in work for Larry or any other appointed officials.
Option Four - Milligrams = I: Small, grim
Limited littleness. Trivial tinytude. Pygmy dwarfism. Intangible insignificance. Molecular minuteness.
Let's not go there. Eject the subject of this conjecture.
Hopefully, these senseless fragmentary offerings give an abbreviated insight into a fraction of my thoughts about the future structure of our monthly examination.
Ciao
Adrian
